That cannon shot with splash damage is going to suck.

I always figured the splash was adjacent to the cannon, since it doesn't say "adjacent to the target." Is this wrong?

Yeah my goal is to get LOS. I can stun any of the 3 in there, do you all have a preference. I'm not going to stand in the door, but I will be far enough back to stun.

The golem is fine. It's hitting the hardest.

I'm actually going to forgo the top of Spirit Swap to make Ash's default attack 5 then clear poison during my turn.

I'm going to need to short rest after this turn.

- Master Splinter uses Perverse Edge (bot)! Attacks Stone Golem 1 for 0 (1base, NULLmod, SHIELD1) damage! Gains 1XP.

FairGame: Jul 24, 2001; Der Kommander

Man, clever. The push guarantees a kill of the slime, freeing up the bear to beats the hell out of the cannon without taking even more trap damage. That�s some really good teamwork.

More damage but no Stun.

AtomikKrab: Jul 17, 2010; Keep on GOP rolling rolling rolling rolling.

healing the bear might be a better idea, remember NULL can happen and the cannon can be alive, if its stunned it can't shoot you.

AtomikKrab posted:

She can't, the heal is Range 1, meaning the bear has to be adjacent to the Spellweaver to be in range.

If you're not on the plate, Megumin's stuck in her room though ; unless she moves off her plate and the *other* filthy rat thing steps up.

So if the ooze is dead then Ash will end up on the hex where the trap was and will attack the cannon. It might die but I'm healing Ash no matter what so the extra attack might whiff but I think I still strengthen?

Correct, Ash will be strengthened regardless of the outcome of its attack.

In fact you can even skip the attack and just command Ash to strengthen (relevant when there's no monsters nearby).
